HossC Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Thanks Mufn, that's a nice mellow track. Here's one with a similar-sounding title, but it's very different: Streetband was an early outing for vocalist Paul Young. This novelty song was originally a B-side (remember them? ) until a DJ picked it up and started playing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my sisters, when she was little, called dinner "toast". Only, she couldn't say toast. When dinner was ready, she'd go find my dad and say "Daddy, time'a eat toes!"And after listening to that, I'm in the mood for toast. LOL.Staying on the food topic... - Freddy Fender (Dukes fans will recognize this!)Son of a gun, we'll have big fun on the bayou! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HossC Posted April 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 - Freddy FenderWould you believe that I have five different versions of that song, but not the one you chose!.I'll add a bit more spice to the pot :Vindaloo - Fat LesA great sing-a-long track (although you probably have to be a supporter of the England soccer team ). The song was written by Blur's bassist Alex James and comedian Keith Allen for the 1998 FIFA World Cup. The video, which is a great parody of (it was even filmed on the same street), includes British comedians Paul Kaye, Rowland Rivron and Little Britain's Matt Lucas and David Walliams as well as artist Damian Hirst and Tenpole Tudor vocalist Edward Tudor-Pole.

Garrett Duke Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 LOVE THIS SONG! Love Tim's music...each album is different from each other. Different style and yet still great. Of course my opinion. Tim McGraw is in my top three favorite Country artists (Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, Tim McGraw) and remains to be one of my favorites that I have yet to see in concert. Perhaps one day...continue to love his music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HossC Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I'd almost forgotten about this song until it came up on my MP3 player the other day. It seems that this track, from their third album, did slightly better on this side of the Atlantic. It works well with the hot weather we're enjoying at the moment.

Garrett Duke Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Know I say this a lot, but I have to say it again. I LOVE THIS SONG! Don't have this on any album, but wish I did. Love it when it comes on the radio. Great song, great tune, great melody..."Funny how a Melody sounds like a Memory".... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HossC Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Seeing as I posted a Thomas Dolby track in 'Musical Chairs' recently, I thought I'd post one here. Please don't remind me that the album this is from (The Golden Age of Wireless) came out 30 years ago - I can still remember watching him promote it on Saturday morning TV .Windpower - Thomas DolbyOne of the comments on YouTube says "Windpower sounds much different when batteries are dying in a Walkman!". When I read that I thought "wow!" (and flutter ), "I remember that feeling." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Duke Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Love this song and the message within it. Just saw Mercy Me in concert for the fourth time last Friday and once again, they were awesome. Awesome band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HossC Posted July 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 A track from their 1988 debut album, 'The First of a Million Kisses'. Their music was described as "a blend of folk, jazz, country, and cajun elements." If you've been listening to the songs I've posted recently, you may recognize the voice of the lead singer, Eddi Reader - she was the guest vocalist on the previous track I posted, 'Cruel'.

HossC Posted August 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 How about a funky Philadelphia instrumental from 1975? I only heard this track for the first time yesterday when it came on the radio, but I've listened to it on YouTube several time since then.

HossC Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 It's been a while since anyone added to this thread, and no one took the bait to post the Bob Dylan song I hinted at in 'Musical Chairs' the other day, so here it is:Hurricane - Bob DylanThis is the full eight and a half minute version. You can read the story behind the song here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HossC Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Y'all may have heard this at the opening ceremony of the Olympics: The 'Grime' music genre, a development of UK garage/British hip hop, emerged from an area of East London very close to the Olympic Park.
